Exceptional experience that was a highlight of our visit - Tim could not have been more helpful. Informative with his knowledge of the region and its history. Choice of wineries were perfect especially Domaine de BINET. Dan was an amazing host. Dave at Tulloch Wines ran a close second. Pokolbin Distillery capped off our tour perfectly.

Half day heaven - What a great way to spend a morning. Our guide, Flick was fabulous, and we were warmly welcomed at all three sites. We sipped too much, spent too much and enjoyed every second! Could not recommend more highly.

Ordinary, not extordinary. - We really enjoyed mystery tasting at Tullochs. Driver was great, shared really good facts. The first stop at Horners was very robotic, the hosts need to look into entertaining the guest in between tasting with past stories etc. the hosts would go behind bar and chat between themselves.
This feedback was left by me, the wife.
